Abstract: | The isothermal oxidation behavior of bulk Ti3AlC2 has been investigated at 1000-1400 °C in air for exposure times up to 20 h by means of TGA, XRD, SEM and EDS. It has been demonstrated that Ti3AlC2 has excellent oxidation resistance. The oxidation of Ti3AlC2 generally followed a parabolic rate law with parabolic rate constants, kp that increased from 4.1×10−11 to 1.7×10−8 kg2 m−4 s−1 as the temperature increased from 1000 to 1400 °C. The scales formed at temperatures below 1300 °C were dense, adherent, resistant to cyclic oxidation and layered. The inner layer of these scales formed at temperatures below 1300 °C was continuous α-Al2O3. The outer layer changed from rutile TiO2 at temperatures below 1200 °C to a mixture of Al2TiO5 and TiO2 at 1300 °C. In the samples oxidized at 1400 °C, the scale consisted of a mixture of Al2TiO5 and, predominantly, α-Al2O3, while the adhesion of the scales to the substrates was less than that at the lower temperatures. Effect of carbon monoxide at scale/substrate was involved in the formation of the continuous Al2O3 layers. |
